The finite verb retains its accent in connection with satya when used in asking a question.,
Thus सत्यं भोक्ष्य꣡से 'Truly will you eat'? सत्यमध्येष्यसे ॥ Why do we say 'in questioning'? Observe सत्यं वक्ष्यामि नानृतं 'I shall tell the truth, not falsehood', स॒॒त्यमिद्वा उ॒॒ तं व॒॒यमिन्द्र॑ स्तवाम्॒॒ ॥,
